The Gerrek has ancestral ties of a magical demonic non-nature, coupled with Displacer Beasts, going as far back as Cerebus the Gatekeeper. This relation has given the Gerrek one-half of the Displacer Beasts' special "displacement" ability, or a 1 1/2' displacement from its original position, and -1 to hit.

Its true power come from its ability to use spells as a 10th level Illusionist, but can't perform mental-related spells such as SLEEP, CHARM, PHANTASM, etc. Most of its spells are of a physical nature, such as DARKNESS, BLINDNESS, INVISIBILITY, and that sort.

Evidence of its Cerebral (ha ha) relation is solely its appearance: a giant, three-headed, vaguely canine beast. It does, however, have a tremendous guard instinct, and will fight to the death to prevent intrusion into its lair, even though intelligence might dictate otherwise.
